As a Humanists UK- trained celebrant, I’m acutely aware that life is short, certainly not just a dress rehearsal, and it’s so important to find the right words to make significant life events meaningful and memorable. I’d love the chance to meet you to chat about one of the key elements of your wedding – the ceremony itself!
Why choose a humanist wedding ceremony?
You and your partner are unique. Your journey together through life will be unique too. So why not choose a ceremony written just for the two of you, with readings, beautifully worded vows and music chosen to define your identity as a couple?
What’s your style? Classic elegance or “alternative”? Romantic or funny?
I relish working on all kinds of ceremonies -each one brings a different challenge, a different tone, a different emphasis. It’s great that so many couples now want the ceremony to be as memorable as the reception afterwards! I can suggest readings and symbolic actions to involve your parents, your friends, your children, even your pets…I particularly look forward to the opportunity to be able to share “your story” with your guests to ensure a focus on how you have arrived at this day and why your union is so special before moving on to promises for your future together.
And if you choose me?
If you are reading this, you will already know that you can choose the celebrant who seems most suited to your needs. There are as many different approaches as there are celebrants: for instance, my passionate interest in The Arts informs every aspect of my work. In addition to my background in teaching (Drama/English: MA in English), I’m a published writer and in my spare time love singing, collecting vinyl, making cocktails, walking my dog, trying to improve my intermediate French and … basically, anything theatrical! I’m well aware of the huge importance of what I do and will spend a lot of time getting it exactly right for you and for your friends and family. This is why I only ever do one ceremony per day; we have all the time it takes without me needing to rush off to my next appointment!
We’re interested. What happens next?
Get in touch with me to arrange an online introductory meeting (no obligation) to find out more. Then if you’re happy to go ahead, we will schedule a 2-3 hour in person meeting a few months before the date of your wedding, after which I'll send you the first draft of your unique script!
I can’t wait to get cracking on helping you with your special day!
